Time travel Gibraltar THE FIRST EVER PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES TAKEN IN AND OF GIBRALTAR BY ALFRED CAPEL CURE BETWEEN 1851 - 1856. IMAGES HAVE BEEN EDITED AND ARE NOW STORED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LOS ANGELES IN THE UNITED STATES. ALFRED CAPEL CURE Alfred Capel Cure was an officer in the British Army, originally commissioned into the 55th Regiment of Foot. He later fought in the Crimean War where he was badly wounded. He was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel in 1856 and then to Colonel five years later. He was stationed in Gibraltar as a member of the 55th from 1851 to 1854 being promoted to captain more or less half way through his time on the Rock. His Gibraltar photographs are dated 1851 and 1852 which will almost certainly make them among the earliest ever taken of the Rock. #timetravel #nowandthen #historicimages #historicgibraltar #historic #vintage #images #gbz #llanito #therock #travelpics #photography #mygibraltar #lovegibraltar #holidays #travel #mediterranean #gibraltarweather #meteogib #mediterraneansea #pillarsofhercules #marmediterraneo #estrechodegibraltar #straitsibraltar #straitsofgibrstsffaltar #rockofgibraltar #visitgibraltar #timetravel.gibraltar

TREATY OF UTRECHT & GIBRALTAR 1713 OTD Hollow Mountain is what the Romans called Gibraltar. One of the twin Pillars of Hercules supporting the heavens, with temples and altars to the demi god where passing travellers made sacrifices. The Spanish later created a heraldic device showing the two pillars, with a scroll wrapped around them, which later became the dollar sign $. Spectacular caves carved by water boast huge stalactites, shrines to Hercules carved by the Romans offer altars, and tunnels carved by the British Army offer communication between gun placements. The dramatic limestone ridge announces itself from miles away and dominates the bay, rising steeply to 1,396 feet: colonised by Barbary apes and English. Legend says the English will go if the apes leave the Rock, and of course we have no idea what folklore exists amongst the apes. Only 2.6 square miles, but honeycombed with 34 miles of tunnels to a quarry, ammunition store, air raid shelters, underground hospital, storehouse, telephone exchange, power station, water distillation plant, bakery, nine reservoirs, vehicle maintenance workshop and barracks. An underground city able to support a 16,000-strong garrison through a 16 month siege. Ceded in perpetuity to Britain OTD under the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht, but a secret place – Stay Behind Cave – was an observation post to remain if the Rock fell to the enemy. Huge strategic value, especially during the Second World War, controlling entrance and exit to the Mediterranean Sea. Today half the world’s seaborne trade passes through the Straits of Gibraltar. A strange place, an outpost for many people including British, Genoese, Jews, Spaniards, Portuguese, and before that Moors, Barbary pirates and Carthaginians - and before that Neanderthals. ‘A motley masquerade, a halfway house between Europe, Asia, and Africa, where every man appears in his own dress and speaks his own language’ (Handbook for Travellers Richard Ford 1845). And yet the Main Street resembles nothing so much as a thriving 1950’s English provincial town - only one with a letter box from every British Monarch since 1855 when they first appeared in London OTD.
